We get snow here but only on the mountains, although sometimes here in Tasmania we do get snow to sea level near Hobart, which is sited under a mountain. It must be nice to wake up to a snow blanket on the ground, although I bet it's a pain traffic wise.

Cooool, but I love it.

I grew up in London until the family moved here in 1983.

We used to get snow quite often. I loved it then and I love it just as much now. Probably for the same nostalgic reason.

It snowed here in Canberra last year.

Yeah. Not exactly freezing here today either Mick, but not quite 37. A pleasant 28 degrees.

Ive seen a platypus swim but never duck. Hmm, snow, reminds me of Repton when I was young enough to enjoy it.

Like billabong, platypus always reminds of that classic from Austen Tayshus the highest selling Australian single of all time “AUSTRALIANA”

Hey Sonia,
Can you send some of that horrible stuff over to Donny, both of my Sisters live there and would like some.
I have had enough of it apart from on Christmas cards.

The coldest day I ever spent was in Copenhagen at -30 dressed in warm weather clothes. I was on my way home from a trip around the middle east.

Mike
